If you can get a 325i head on the cheap, then you're right, why the hell would you have the head you already have drilled? But again, that's not what you asked.

-The ENTIRE exhaust system is the same as a 325i's.
-'88 s-etas has Motronic 1.1. The injectors can be swaped w/o the DME, you just need the chip to raise your redline.
-EDIT: I used to own a s-eta that I was modding until I wrecked it. I left the head alone and used a 325i TB, IM, and injectors. I replaced the stock '88 chip with a '88 b25i one, but had to be careful to shift below 6k. The PO had put a 4.10 LSD out back and that baby would ROLL. I should have went ahead and rebuilt the head with a b25i cam and 2x VS but I was lazy. I'd say she still made 150 hp. A FULL 2.7i with 19# injectors and an m30 afm should make 180 hp, according to Metric Mechanic.Last edited by SpecM; 12-05-2006, 09:10 AM.1989 cirrisblau-metallic 325i

Not even sure what chassis this motor will go in, my 528e is damaged and I'm looking for an E30 shell.

Drilled journals = $30 at a high-end, overpriced place. Literally, it takes no time at all.
"i" head = $150
But if you're lazy and can get a complete "i" head for $150 that doesn't need to be rebuilt, I say go for it.
